Track ConstructionTools with Barcode
Every construction contractor knows keeping track of construction tools can be a never-ending challenge. From employee to employee, and jobsite to jobsite, it’s a never ending, arduous task. Then there’s the sheer capital investment involved. Tools that can’t be found are often simply misplaced, but you know they’re never going to be found until you purchase that replacement! Employees try to do their best for the company, and often that means squirreling away tools so that they can know they’ll have them to use on their next job. From the scaffolding to the jackhammer, and all those little tools in between, a huge negative revenue stream can ensue if something isn’t done to control construction tool inventory.
A good solution is barcode labeling and barcode software tracking of all tools, large or small. Whether it’s tracking tools to an employee, tracking construction tools to a jobsite, or tracking construction tools to a particular job, a solid barcode label application can spare a company a lot of heartburn.
The barcode label process can be quick, intuitive, and, best of all, it’s accurate. The construction tools are tagged with the appropriate type of barcode label, they are scanned or “checked out” to an employee, location or jobsite. They can then be “checked in” when they’re returned, or they can be “checked out” again to the next employee, location or jobsite. Now, with this barcode application, you may not always know where the tools are, BUT, you will know who had them last and where they’re supposed to be. Now, you can act appropriately to account for them. The best part is, the ROI on a contractor tool tracking barcode process can be as little as 3 months. After that, the “negative” tool revenue turns POSITIVE!
Construction tool tracking is somewhat of a niche area. As such, finding a good construction tool tracking barcode label system can be challenging. However, there are enough choices available that it pays to review the options and make the best choice for your construction business. Consider the following:
• Do you want to be held captive to a yearly “license” fee for the tool tracking barcode software application?
• Do you want to have to use the vendor’s barcode label and barcode scanning hardware?
• Do you want to have to have to use the vendor’s “web-based” barcode software application?
If you answered NO to the questions above, take a look at GigaTrak’s Construction Tool Tracking Barcode Solutions - Our construction tool tracking software is designed to provide the information and data needed to manage your tool inventory. Our construction tool tracking software includes master tool templates, to foster consistency in tool descriptions. They include identifying the tool with a master barcode number, a license plate, if you will, as well as the option to include separate asset, serial, and model numbers for the tools. Each tool can be assigned repair and maintenance information data. This information allows you to keep tools in safe, usable condition. We provide for a large variety of reports on demand – providing you with historical information such as cost and usage. It also provides you with maintenance or regulatory reports for auditing purposes. Additionally, set the configurable software flag, and know immediately upon logon what tools require maintenance. While we can provide a large variety of pre-printed barcode labels, each of our tool tracking software products also includes an “on demand” embedded barcode label designer. Print your own barcode labels if you choose.
We charge NO hidden or ongoing fees. Once you purchase the product, it is yours to use as long as it suites your purposes. It installs on your own PC or Server Host, so your data remains your private data. If you have a preference of barcode hardware vendors, or perhaps you’re already using a barcode software product that you want to move away from and already have a significant investment in barcode scanners, we work with you to use our tool tracking software with your barcode scanning hardware. GigaTrak’s Construction Tool Tracking Software also has database import capabilities, in case you’re considering changing from your existing construction tool tracking barcode software.
